Gran Turismo 5's Rumored Fall Release Date? Sony Won't Comment

When is Gran Turismo 5 finally coming out? Your guess is as good as ours, but Sony Computer Entertainment America isn't commenting on whether the rumored fall window has any validity.

Gran Turismo 5 was announced in 2006 and scheduled for a Japanese release in March. No date had been announced for either America or Europe. Fansite GT Planet, however, discovered comments from James Armstrong, the head of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's Portuguese division, that stated Gran Turismo 5 was finally coming "this fall, before Christmas." Nothing more specific than that.

SCEA, however, declined to confirm Armstrong's statements.

"We haven't announced a launch date for GT5," said a company representative to me today.

Around $60 million have reportedly been spent on development. The waiting game continues.
